Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what risk assessments his Department has conducted on changes to court provision in Calder Valley.

An impact assessment was published alongside the consultation document, which can be found at: https://consult.justice.gov.uk/digital-communications/proposal-on-the-provision-of-court-and-tribunal-es.

No decision has been taken to close any court. The consultation closed on 8 October and we are considering all responses carefully.
